Ist is a small tool that reads your Todoist projects and tasks, then spits out the task you should work on right now — the highest-priority, in your current context, that's due today.

Start by signing up for Todoist. (You don't need Todoist Premium, but I recommend it.)

Create 'projects' that correspond to the contexts you work with (e.g. "routine", "home", "errands", "online"). You can always change these later. The first context in your list (drag-and-drop) should always be 'routine'/'personal'/'self-care' tasks; these will override tasks from other contexts. Exclude contexts using a trailing underscore, e.g. "Context_".

Now add tasks to these contexts, each with a priority and due date (and repeat rule if needed). You can also use Markdown formatting, emojis, and comments^{Todoist Premium}.

When ready, click the button at the bottom of Ist to authorize it to access your Todoist account.
